The normal political spectrum used by liberals and the MSM runs from Nazis on the right to communists on the left.
That is, it runs from a Jewish-hating totalitarian socialist philosophy on the right to a Jewish-hating totalitarian socialist philosophy on the left.
Clearly, that's insane, since the extremes are identical. But it serves the purposes of liberals because it disguises the fascist nature of liberal positions. It also allows liberals to hang the shame of Nazism over conservatives, who all oppose the big-government philosophy of Nazism as well as Nazis' hatred of Jews.

Rational thought has no place in the Libtard universe.
Did you need to use “rational”? Just plain old “thought” probably would have been enough. ;-)
But I have to say, when I started lurking on 4chan and learning about who they were and what they had done I was impressed. They bankrupted Brannon’s video game company because he was allowing Chinese and Indian sweatshop to hire players to play a profile 24/7 for days and then sell it for real cash. So a real person could pay real money to enter the game at an advanced level. They considered that “cheating” and so used their economic power to kill his product. If that kind of behavior doesn’t demonstrate principles that fit freerepublic like a glove then I don’t know freerepublic. They did the same kind of thing to a girl game developer who was sleeping with a video game media guy for good reviews. They called it “Gamergate”. These are values I am very comfortable with.
In my lurking it seemed to me the LARPing KKK and Nazis were disrupters from the DNC to discredit and fragment what they, correctly perceived to be a real threat to Hillary.
Altura’s first hand report stating that some 30 out of 1,000 were LARPing Nazis with several of them waving Nazi flags. Of course those were the ones the BSM showed and their propaganda worked very well, even on approximately half of the freepers.
This is really a very good piece.
The US Constitution — which all Conservatives should support — is really a very Centrist document. Government has a role, but so does individual responsibility. People deserve a lot of freedom, but not total freedom.
As Centrists, Conservatives can only be really criticized by Extremists — on the Right, that would be old-stle Anarchists who want no laws and no government control — or on the Left by Totalitarians (Fascists, Communists, Nazis, Democrats) who want the government to control everything.
Sell that to the American people — Centrist or Extremist?
I have yet to hear the dems or the media (same thing) even mention the word “communists”, so the article is wrong on that count. The political spectrum according to the dems and the media (again, same thing) runs from Nazi, no matter how meek and peaceful, to describe anyone to the right of Mao to Freedom Loving Tolerant Heroes for anyone to the left of Mao, no matter how hate-filled and violent.
Yeah, redundant.
The problem is that the Republicans welcomed disallusioned Democrats that had wrapped themselves up in the Confederate flag, the Nazi flag, in white supremacy, bigotry, and hate. These are not conservatives in the Republican sense. They are the Democrats, Democratic fascists. Now the Republicans are tainted with their hatred and violence. No way to separate it so long as any Republicans and conservatives defend the Confederate flag and their hero worshiping statues. No Republican lead defends these. Last national leader to do so was Bill Clinton. Anyone that wants to fly or defend the Confederate flag should go back to the Democratic party. That is the party of -ism and bias and identity. And no, impossible to separate good and bad around the Confederate flag. It was flag flown against Americans, in armed rebellion, and led to the death of many, many Americans. Give it up.

Liberals only see the world through a big government prism. Anything outside that paradigm is mocked, ridiculed, verbally assaulted, physically assaulted, stalked, intimidated, Etc. Etc. That is very apparent now. And as their big government demon crashes and burns under its own weight, it’s minions will continue to march.
old-style Anarchists who want no laws and no government control
Anarchist is a term used by communists to hide their Marxism. Anarchists are communists. Anarchy is a temporary condition followed by civil war and usually followed by totalitarianism.
No country stays in anarchy for very long. It is a step in implementing totalitarianism.
Anarchists living in a constitutional republic are not trying to overthrow the government to install a constitutional republic. They are trying to overthrow the government to install a dictator.
It was flown against Americans, BY Americans. The "Civil War" was not truly a civil war in the respect that it was a war for one government, but a war of secession or independence. The hostilities ceased but the core belief that the Northern States were violating the Constitution by eradicating States Rights remained. Having Southern sympathizing Presidents such as Johnson did not help to remove that thought from the South but may have even solidified such.
The statues/monuments to Southern Generals is to honor them as Americans, not for their support of slavery.
LOL! Well, there are still folks who need some edumacation.
Agreed. I threw in the “old-style” modifier because of that.
I’ve always been a “less is more” guy for government and when I was very young I read extensively on Anarchism and, frankly, I liked a fair amount of it. Anarchism is a diverse set of political beliefs which (traditionally) emphasized personal freedom. Sometimes from a Christian standpoint, sometimes from a Capitalist standpoint, sometimes from a Communist (communal ownership) viewpoint.
NOTE: I eventually decided that this was simply unworkable and I am now a firm Conservative who likes the US Constitution very much. I do not even consider myself a Libertarian.
But, as you say, today “Anarchism” has nothing of the old-style meaning. It’s just Marxism. Let’s make government big and powerful and let’s just stomp all over the people we don’t like. We’ll make lots and lots of rules so that we can always find some kind of reason to stomp on whomever we want to stomp on. And we’ll call it Anarchism, because Totalitarianism sounds kind of scary.
They did much the same with “liberal” which once meant limited government involvement. But today, any “Liberal” is likely to be a closet Marxist.
Hmmm. Good enough to do a double tap I see. LOL!
Kinda like: “How could you possibly NOT want to be taken care of in all aspects of your life?”
Communists, NAZIs, Neo NAZIs, all Worker Parties and AntiFa are Alt-Left.
Period.
Your nonsense continues!
Yeah, not to mention even the very concept of anarchy (absolutely no government and laws whatsoever) also had its very ugly head reared up during the French Revolution where the people killed each other just for a laugh, like how Grignon ordered his men to just kill each other and anyone else they could find. It has the exact same roots as Communism as a matter of fact.
And there are some anarchists, such as Leon Trotsky or Ernst Rohm, who want to have “permanent revolution”, which means that essentially they draw out the chaos to such an extent that there wouldn’t even need to be a dictator to cause carnage, something akin to Joker’s ending in Injustice 2: https://youtu.be/0hZby1M8Fd8?t=62
And quite frankly, one of the reasons I’m not fond of Thomas Jefferson is because he comes across as a Marxist before Marxism even existed, given his absolute love for the excesses of the French Revolution up to and even including the September Massacres and the Reign of Terror. That’s also why, lack of a direct mention of God aside, I’m glad Jefferson wasn’t involved in the Constitutional drafting process, since had it been up to him, he probably would have essentially made it the English-language version of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen.
